194. This week I introduce you to Ilise S. Carter, author, journalist and sideshow performer, who worked in the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. Tune in as Ilise shares her story of waking up late on 9/11, resulting in her not being in the Twin Towers on that tragic day and how that changed her life and wellbeing forever. Listen in as she describes her experience of having survivors' guilt and developing panic attacks following the event. Ilise also discusses how this changed her life and her wellbeing, how she reclaimed the trauma by becoming a fire performer and how this experience became a huge part of her origin story and the woman she’s become.
